BUILD SMALL HABITS: The Ridiculously Simple System for Weight Loss, Career Growth, and Lasting Change
About
You’ve tried to change. You really have.
The gym membership. The diet plan. The ambitious morning routine. All abandoned by January 15th.
You told yourself you just needed more discipline. More motivation. More willpower.
You were wrong.
The problem isn’t you. It’s that everything you’ve been taught about building habits is designed to fail.
Big goals require perfect conditions. Elaborate routines demand superhuman consistency. Willpower runs out by Tuesday.
What actually works? Starting ridiculously small.
Not “work out for an hour.” Put on your running shoes.
Not “eat healthy meals.” Eat one vegetable.
Not “meditate 20 minutes.” Take three conscious breaths.
Not “read more books.” Read one paragraph after coffee.
Not “save money.” Auto-transfer $1 per paycheck.
BUILD SMALL HABITS reveals the system that successful people use but never talk about—the BUILD framework that turns “I’ll try harder” into “I just do this now.”
Drawing from behavioral psychology, neuroscience, and 20+ years of organizational consulting, Quinn Price delivers a framework so simple it seems obvious and so effective it’s almost unfair.
Inside you’ll discover:
- Why your past attempts failed (and why that wasn’t your fault)
- The BUILD system: Begin small, Use existing routines, Install triggers, Lock in with tracking, Design your comeback
- Domain-specific applications for health, career, relationships, finances, and mental well-being
- How to stack habits for compound effects without overwhelming yourself
- Teaching others (kids, teams, organizations) through modeling, not preaching
- The recovery protocol that prevents one missed day from becoming total failure
Just one small habit. Today. Right now.
Because the difference between who you are and who you want to be isn’t one dramatic transformation.
It’s one ridiculously small habit. Repeated daily. Until you become that person.
Stop trying harder. Start building smarter.
